How caldera collapse shapes the shallow emplacement and transfer of magma in active volcanoes
Calderas are topographic depressions formed by the collapse of a partly drained magma reservoir. At volcanic edifices with calderas, eruptive fissures can circumscribe the outer caldera rim, be oriented radially and/or align with the regional tectonic stress field. Constraining the mechanisms that govern this spatial arrangement is fundamental to understand the dynamics of shallow magma storage...
متن کاملMagma chamber behavior beneath a volcanic edifice
[1] The construction of a large volcanic edifice at Earth’s surface generates stresses in the upper crust whose magnitude is comparable to those of tectonic stresses and overpressures within a magma chamber. We study how this affects eruption behavior. Analytical calculations are carried out in two dimensions for a cylindrical reservoir with an internal overpressure in an elastic half-space wit...
متن کاملAlba Patera, Mars: Topography, structure, and evolution of a unique late Hesperian–early Amazonian shield volcano
[1] New spacecraft data, especially MOLA topography, reveal important characteristics of Alba Patera that were either unknown or poorly resolved in previous data sets. The major and consistent breaks of slope and the specific pattern of lava flows within a broad region around Alba Patera permit division of this area into two major parts that appear to be related to different episodes of volcani...
متن کاملAnother Look at the Summit Caldera of Apollinaris Patera
Introduction: Highland paterae [1-2] represent one of the most distinctive landforms on the Martian surface. The term patera (paterae if plural) was originally applied to any large, flat-floored depression with irregular margins identified in Mariner 9 and Viking imagery and included volcanoes as well as impact craters [3]. However, highland paterae represent an individual class of patera that ...
متن کاملCaldera rim collapse: A hidden volcanic hazard
Following the emblematic fl ank collapse of Mount St Helens in 1981, numerous models of flank sliding have been proposed. These models have allowed to largely improve the understanding of mechanisms involved in such landslides, which represent a tremendous risk for populations living around volcanoes. In this article, a new mode of landslide formation, related to buried calderas, is described. ...
